General Dentistry

Of the estimated 143,000 dentists practicing in North America, some 80 percent are general dentists. Unlike specialists, who are primarily focused on a particular aspect of dental practice, general dentists have the capacity to provide a wide array of treatment and preventive services. Although general dentists are permitted to perform many of the same services rendered by specialists, Dr Schweifler believes that you cannot be a “Jack of All Trades” and that the level of overall care is greatly enhanced when relying on the talents of specialists. He prefers to focus his clinical energy where he has the most expertise-
